A new gTLD is one of the hundreds of generic top-level domains that ICANN introduced through its expansion program, which began delegating strings like .app, .xyz, .io, .dev, and .shop from 2013 onward. The program opened the right-of-the-dot namespace beyond the original handful, letting brands and communities run their own registry and giving registrants far more naming choice.
